Study summary

This research study is being done to measure the clinical benefit associated with cabozantinib (XL184) in men who have prostate cancer that has spread to visceral organs (organs other than bone or lymph nodes) and no longer responds to initial hormonal (castration) therapy. This type of prostate cancer is called metastatic, castrate-resistant prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

Cabozantinib (XL184), a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has demonstrated a powerful clinical phenotype in men with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) both before and after chemotherapy. This phenotype consists of rapid reduction in pain (when present) and improvement in bone scans that may or may not be accompanied by decrease in serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) concentrations. In previous studies of cabozantinib in advanced prostate cancer, patients with visceral disease have been excluded. Hence, this protocol creates a unique opportunity to define the activity of this disease in the population of men with visceral disease - a marker for poorer prognosis in mCRPC.

Primary Objectives:

- To assess the clinical benefit (complete response + partial response + stable disease) of cabozantinib in patients with mCRPC with visceral metastases.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To assess the impact of cabozantinib on numbers live circulating tumor cells (CTCs) using NanoVelcro Chips
  • To test the feasibility of measuring variation in gene expression in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in response to therapy.
  • To determine if there is an impact of cabozantinib on live circulating tumor cell (CTC) number and patterns of gene expression.
  • To measure the impact of cabozantinib on serum HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) and VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) levels in men with metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
  • To assess the safety and tolerability of lower doses (i.e. doses below 100 mg daily) of cabozantinib in mCRPC with visceral involvement.
  • To collect blood, urine, tissue, and plasma which may be used determine if there are germline genetic variations that correlate with toxicity.
  • To pilot correlations between molecular content between circulating tumor cells (CTCs), large oncosomes, and tumor tissue.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Clinical Benefit Rate From Cabozantinib (XL184)

    Clinical benefit rate is defined as the combination of complete response, partial response, and stable disease as defined by modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 as assessed by CT imaging and Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG2) criteria. Complete response (CR) defined as disappearance of all target lesions; Partial response (PR) \>=30% decrease in som of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline), and stable disease, neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor increase to qualify for progressive disease.

    Time frame: Baseline to 12 weeks after starting therapy

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Number of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) in Response to Cabozantinib

    Change in number of CTC from baseline at 12 weeks

    Time frame: Baseline and 12 weeks

  2. Number of Patients With NanoVelcro Appropriate for RNA in Circulating Tumor Cells

    This is to provide a measure of feasibility using NanoVelcro to measure RNA in circulating tumor cells (CTC)

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  3. Change in Levels of Serum Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Concentration

    Mean change from baseline in levels of HGF and VEGF

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  4. Number of Participants With Grade 3/4 Adverse Events Related to Cabozantinib as Assessed Using CTCAE (v.4)

    Each cycle is 28 days. Safety and tolerability was defined as related grade 3-4 AEs of doses of cabozantinib below 100 mg daily using common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE)

    Time frame: Every 2 weeks for first 3 Cycles and every 4 weeks thereafter for an expected average of 28 weeks.

  5. Number of Patients With Evaluable Protein Content of Large Oncosomes From Baseline to First Documented Progression or Date of Death

    This is a feasibility outcome to assess ability to measure protein content in large oncosomes in this population.

    Time frame: From baseline until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first, assessed for an expected average of 28 weeks.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Apr 2013 to primary completion in Jul 2016, 38 months.

Results were first posted in Sep 2017, 1 year 2 months after primary completion.

Of 569 non-industry phase 2 interventional studies under Prostatic Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 56 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 38 and three quarters within 84. This study's 38 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 666 studies reached it within 52 months; a quarter within 34 and three quarters within 77.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 27, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
